Abstract Systemic metabolic alterations associated with increased consumption of saturated fat and obesity are linked with increased risk of prostate cancer progression and mortality, but the molecular underpinnings of this association are poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate in a murine prostate cancer model, that high-fat diet (HFD) enhances the MYC transcriptional program through metabolic alterations that favour histone H4K20 hypomethylation at the promoter regions of MYC regulated genes, leading to increased cellular proliferation and tumour burden. Saturated fat intake (SFI) is also associated with an enhanced MYC transcriptional signature in prostate cancer patients. The SFI-induced MYC signature independently predicts prostate...

Archbishop Viganò: A Meditation on the Passion and Death of the LordThe Saviour reminds us that His most holy Passion must also be fulfilled in his Mystical Body - the Church.This is your hour; it is the reign of darkness. Luke 22:53The texts of the liturgy of the Sacred Triduum strike us, like the lash of a whip, for the crude brutality of the torments to which the Lord was subjected by the will of the Sanhedrin, at the order of the Roman procurator. The crowd, instigated by the high priests, invokes the innocent blood of the Son of God...

...I checked the comments because I wanted to see what the excuse being thrown out there was. Apparently, Ukraine’s president (you know, the guy who was such a supporter of America that he formed one of the centerpieces of Trump’s impeachment), is now an enemy of democracy. That means Biden had no choice but to snub him.... Besides, it doesn’t take much speculation to come to the logical conclusion that Ukraine not being invited has everything to do with appeasing Russia. Putin is currently rattling his saber and signaling a coming invasion of Ukraine via a military build-up on the...

Its admission came a week after the Democrat criticised Amazon’s working conditions, saying in a tweet: “Paying workers $15/hr doesn’t make...

It is not dogma, nor is it the sacraments and ministries, none of the things that by God’s singular grace we fully and universally preserve,” said Cardinal Raniero Cantalamessa in the Good Friday service in Saint Peter’s Basilica. “The divisions that polarize Catholics stem from political options that grow into ideologies taking priority over religious and ecclesial considerations and leading to complete abandon of the value...
